I was able to get libarrow and pyarrow to compile and run on Alpine in Docker, but only after I used sed to remove the inclusion of execinfo.h and the related ifdef block in PrintBacktrace, which removes the call to backtrace.
This leads me to believe that if you improve how you check for backtrace (not just checking if _WIN32 is not defined), perhaps by using FindBacktrace, things would compile cleanly on Alpine. I'm not exactly sure how to do this, so I'm opening this issue.
Here's my working Dockerfile:
